I applied to 14 schools. My GPA is >3.5, DAT AA >20, applied third batch. I've done shadowing and volunteering. Worked hard on my personal statement. Any info/advice? Or is this normal and I should just continue waiting? This waiting game is torture.

What schools did you apply to?
 
Maybe because you are canadian and you applied med school before (I'm guessing?).

I really hope thats not the case. I actually withdrew before having a complete app and explained that on my application. I kind of had a late change of heart after shadowing dentists and realizing that this is what I really wanted to do. I made sure to get an LOR from one of the dentists I shadowed as well.

What schools did you apply to?

Just off the top of my head - UOP, NYU, Case, Detroit, Buffalo, BU, UPenn, Maryland, Creighton..
 
But then again, it's still early...I mean looking at last year's threads, many interviews came from september ~november.

I feel you . I keep checking my phone every 10 minutes-_-.

I'm in sort of the same situation! I wish I knew what was going on. I'm a Canadian applicant from Ontario. My GPA is 4.00, DAT AA>20, shadowing and volunteering. I applied early in June and I applied to 13 schools!

Maybe it's because I'm applying as a 3rd year student (that is, I will be matriculating without a bachelors degree). Is it likely because we are considered international students?

Maybe. I am in a similar situation too. 3.65+ GPA with 21 AA. Applied to most schools you guys applied to. No luck yet. Could it be that we are Canadian or could it be the universities we are from??
 
I have 3.83 GPA, 19 AA, applied first batch, have over three years of experience working in a dental office, US resident and not even one invite...:wtf:

We are in similar boats, my friend (besides that I'm a CA resident). No invites yet either. Go outside and get some fresh air, relax, hang out with your friends, live, etc. Don't worry so much because you've done everything you could at this point and there is nothing left to do :).

After months of hearing about this game, I finally got it today and let me just say I am so glad I played it AFTER I was done with school and done with the DAT. I sucked my afternoon away.
